I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.
It was one of my pull your hair out, am I crazy momments. That discovery was the result.

well, that seemed a little anti-climatic. looks like only 6-7 people have commented on the 888. kinda dulls my enthusiasm for the the 999.

With around 7 more bottles of "imported" RIS on the chill, there will be plenty of the black gold pouring as I watch the Olympics...whic I will always remember...not for the medals or ceremonies...but for the beer that was brewed by others...for me to enjoy.
Your disappointment was premature. It's been a week...now it's time for disappointment. We're at something less than 64% participation in the "Sampling & Critiquing" forum (only 18 of 28 participants have had any posts in their threads since 8-8-8, and most, if not all of them have not had all three recipients respond). I only got 66% of the beer that I was supposed to receive. I know I'm not the only victim of non-shipment. That's enough to dissuade me from further participation in mass swaps. I'll probably brew the 9-9-9 recipe sometime, but I'm not going to waste any more time/money on shipping. Sorry folks, but this was a failure despite the extraordinary efforts by BM and Chriso.well, that seemed a little anti-climatic. looks like only 6-7 people have commented on the 888. kinda dulls my enthusiasm for the the 999.

I am guilty of not having reviewed mine yet -- It's been a busy 2 weeks, and I want, nay, DEMAND that if I'm going to review someone's beer, I'm going to give them the proper time and attention that beer deserves. Rest assured that all 3 of my senders' beers are in the fridge, and WILL be reviewed post-haste.
Perhaps I'll have enough time tonight. Been fixing cars all day, all 3 of our vehicles simultaneously crapped out! So much for the contingency plan! Now I gotta work on that honey-do list.
What about now that it's been a month? I only have one review...it makes me sadYour disappointment was premature. It's been a week...now it's time for disappointment
Yup. Still FAIL.
After almost a month, I'm 2/3 for beers received and 1/3 reviews.
"The basic swap requirements to participate remain the same:
1. Must be a paying supporter of HBT
2. Must have met all previous obligations to provide beer to other members (other swaps, Secret Santa, stuff like that).
3. Must be willing to provide fair, honest, constructive criticism on the beers you receive - more detailed than just "great beer!," we're here to learn
4. Must be willing to ACCEPT fair, honest, constructive criticism on the beers you send, even if it's not all wonderful.
I'm in the same boat. When do we get to start showing up at people's houses and demanding that they drink our RIS in front of us?
you certainly did, i was all smiles the whole day. But I was hoping for two more, not necessarily glowing, but reviews either way.
The old 3 shift days, I remember drinking a few times in the morning back then. Usually for me it was on a Friday.Actually, it has been a combo of my Porter Square and Edworts Apfelwine. (Started out on teh PS when I go thome form work but as I got drnker as time went by I had a choice. i could drin really goood beer, smoke crack or dring afprewirn. Afpelwint is chaper and you don't **** up yuopuir brain forever.
But it dowd s damded good gob ins ths short therm. Gnight

I know, I've been slacking on reviews. I have two more to do, and I will get on that ASAP.
